dancingyeland yesterday was the first friday night, thus hillel services. cin came with me since nav nights are only starting next week, whicih is rather nice 'cause she's been wanting to see what services are like for a while now. yesterday was...overwhelming fits it best. loads of people since it was the first shabbat of the school year. i don't think half the people that were there will actually come back, but we'll see. it was hard to really talk to people because it was loud and very crowded...but i did get to see several people i wanted to see, and i also made a new friend, which was cool.
interesting things that happened last night: finally talked to ari after a summer of wondering about it all...am now convinced that my mind was just messing with me and there's absolutely nothing to anything he said. talked to rabbi lisa, which was nice. i think i should talk to her more this year...she's helpful and insightful. saw josh wortman...got a super nice hug from him...had a very good convo, until he started telling me about how much he loves his girlfriend who's in brazil and how hard it is to stay in a committed relationship with someone who's in another country. i wanted to be sympathetic, really i did...but all i could think was, "i like you! stop telling me about your girl already! i don't wanna know!" but of course, i didn't say that...i just listened and made appropriate comments, as usual. then, risa and her brother who i think is named hedron and joey convinced me to go the aepi party after services...and david, this guy who's a transfer from claremont mesa, said he'd give me a ride and everything. so, i decided i'd go and see what it was like. frankly, it sucked. music in one room with no one dancing, and the other rooms and the backyard filled with a bunch of people drinking and trying to talk to each other, mostly unsuccessfully since it was tres loud and a good portion of them were a bit drunk. i think i would've enjoyed it more if there were people dancing and i could dance, but the way it was, i just hung out with risa and hedron and talked to random people i saw, like leo...who's still as hot as ever, and as stupid as ever. i was really glad that david a)doesn't drink or else i would've had to drive his car back and b)wanted to leave at like 11:30 'cause he didn't think the party was all that great, either. so he drove me back home and made me call him when i got upstairs to my place so he'd know i got in safely and all. that was sweet...and now i have his number...which of course doesn't really help since he has a girlfriend in santa barbara and was telling me all about her and the issues they have with one another. i was thinking, "what, is this my day to play psychiatrist to guys with girl problems?" but, once again, i didn't say anything to that effect and just tried to be sympathetic...it was easier with him since i just met him and never had a crush on him like i did on josh. but yeah.
oh, i realized that i haven't mentioned any of my classes yet. of course, they weren't nearly as exciting as all the social stuff...but still, i feel i should say something about them. so i don't know what modern dance is like yet since we haven't started dancing, but i'll know on tuesday. o-chem is a little scary, but i think if i keep up with all the stuff, it's doable. physics doesn't seem so bad...the prof is nice, but i haven't looked at the book yet. math is tres scary...not the problems yet, but the prof is a mean and unaccomodating idiot. don't get me started on him. hum seems like it'll be interesting, with lots of reading. i'll be ok if i don't fall behind. ok, that's all for classes then.
how exciting...my year is off and running!
